Whole-body MRI Takes Less Than 20 Min To Scan A Patient's Entire Body For Cancer Spread To Bone
Whole-
body MRI with an automatic moving table is effective for evaluating the entire skeleton in patients with suspected bone metastasis (cancer that has spread to the bone from other parts of the
body) in a single imaging scan-and it only takes between 15 and 18 minutes, say two different European studies. For one study, researchers from the Clinica Girona in Catalonia, Spain, performed w...

Chemists synthesize molecule that helps body battle cancers, malaria
The first synthesis of QS-21A, a medicinally important molecule that helps the
body battle disease, has been achieved by chemists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In clinical trials, QS-21A has been shown to significantly improve the
body's immune response in vaccine therapies against aggressive diseases such as melanoma, breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer, prostate c...
Determining The Fate Of Cells In The Human Body
A study in the April issue (currently available online) of Nature Genetics establishes a model that may take scientists closer to understanding how cells in the human
body determine their own fate. Researchers, led by Anthony Firulli, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics and of medical and molecular genetics at the Indiana University School of Medicine, investigated the interaction of...
Natural tumor suppressor in body discovered by UCSD medical researchers
A natural tumor suppressor that could potentially be turned on in certain cancer cells to prevent the formation of tumors has been discovered by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine. Located on chromosome 18 and called PH domain Leucine-rich repeat Protein Phosphatase (PHLPP, pronounced "flip"), the tumor suppressor is described in the April 1,...
